I bought the el cheapo and had nothing but grief, leaked and didn't seem to filter very well. 50 bucks down the drain. Have since bought the craftbrewer version which have not used as yet. lesson learned.

I have recently hung the bag up and am now mashing and batch sparging in a 26L esky with a copper manifold. My only real reason for changing is that I wanted to learn how to do it and to see if it makes any real difference. My only regret is that that I find the 26L esky too small. Sure it fits...

Just been listening to Brew Strong. Palmer rehydrates his in a glad bag so it can be given a shake. Will try this next time. When I sprinkle into a glass of warm water it takes ages for the yeast to absorb the water. If I stir too soon then the yeast sticks to the spoon. I want all the...

:icon_offtopic: Hi, I have the 26l version of the same esky which as it turns out is a tad small. Anyway, my question is what is that bulkhead fitting you used. It looks very neat. I used a threaded nipple with nut and washer either side. Works fine but as I said yours is very neat. Cheers Dave

That looks foolish and dangerous, now where can I buy dry ice.

My understanding is that when rehydrating yeast you want the water to move into the cell membrane. Water does this much better than sugary wort. Something to do with osmotic pressure. I believe that is why salt water fish will die in fresh water.

Thanks for organising, good work.

I didn't notice that, was too shocked by the "Wave of toilet stall door thefts hits Brandenburg" article

I have this pressure cooker. The pressure setting is 1 or 2. Do these domestic types reach the required temp of 121 degrees ??. Unlike the pressure canners there is no way of estimating the pressure. Cheers

:icon_offtopic: I lived in London for 2 years in the 90's and drank nothing to my shame but BUL Stella and 1664. Now everytime I pay 10 bucks for a bottle of fullers I should slap myself.

I bought a piece of belly pork. Problem is it has rib bones still insitu. Have I the wrong part of the belly, can the bones be cut out. Can't take it back of course so will forge ahead.

I bought my CO2 bottle from here. I did a fair bit research and that was the best value by far I could find. Plus, with that bottle you can swap and go (or swap and stay to talk about brewing for an hour) at Greensbourough Homebrew just around the corner from you. 2.6kg is plenty of gas for the...

I froze 30mls of rinsed ESB 1968 yeastcake with around 12 mls of glycerine (40%) Just under 2 weeks ago. It remained in liquid form. Just pitched into an ESB after stepping up with 200ml, 1L, 1.5L. Starter fired up like any othe starter I have done. Was only at minus temperatures for 2 weeks...
